Quick Layer/Split
The Quick Layer/Split feature makes it easy to create simple
layers and splits. Starting with either a Program or
Combination, you can add another Program as a layer, or
split the keyboard so that the current sound plays on one side
of the keyboard (either upper or lower), and a different
Program plays on the other.
All of the Quick Layer/Split controls are non-destructive and
reflected immediately when playing on the keyboard. You
can experiment with different settings, and fine-tune until
you find the perfect sound.
While you can start with either a Program or a Combination,
the additional split or layer sound must always be a Program,
and the results of Quick Layer/Split are always saved as a
new Combination. After saving, you can then edit the new
Combination as desired.
Quick Layer
A “layer” is when playing a single note causes two or more
sounds to be heard simultaneously. The Quick Layer
function lets you layer two Programs, or one Combination
and one Program.
For example, you could layer piano with strings, using two
Programs:
Main: Piano program
Layer: Strings program
Or, you could add strings to a Combination which is itself a
layer:
Main: Piano Combination (Piano + E.Piano layer)
Layer: Strings Program
Quick Split
Split lets you play different sounds in different regions of the
keyboard. The Quick Split function lets you split two
Programs, or one Combination and one Program.
For example, you can do this:
Main: piano Program (right hand)
Split: bass Program (left hand)
or this:
Main: piano Combination (Piano + E.Piano layer) (left
hand)
Split: lead synth Program (right hand)
Effects, KARMA, and Drum Track
The Layer or Split Program’s Insert Effects (IFX) are
automatically included in the resulting Combination, as long
as enough free IFX slots are available. Its Send 1/2 levels are
also included—but note that the Master and Total Effects
(MFX and TFX) will come from the Main Program or
Combination. So, the Layer or Split Program may not sound
exactly the same as it did originally.
You can choose to include the KARMA settings from either
or both of the sounds. This means that each can continue to
play its own dedicated KARMA phrases, for example.
You can choose to use the Drum Track from either of the two
sounds. Note, however, that you can't use both Drum Tracks
simultaneously.
Limitations
In extreme cases, there may not be enough available IFX
slots to copy settings from the Split or Layer Program. Also,
you can choose to use the Drum Track from either the Main
or Split/Layer Program, but not from both.
There are additional limitations when using Quick
Layer/Split from Combination mode; for more information,
see “Limitations of Quick Layer/Split” on page 73.
Quick Layer and Quick Split buttons
To use Quick Layer/Split, press the Quick Layer or Quick
Split buttons in the P0: Play page of either Program or
Combination mode. The Quick Layer or Quick Split dialog
box will appear, and you can then create the layer or split
sound that you want.
